The former mayor of a Mexican town was arrested for his alleged role in one of the worst massacres by the notorious Zetas drug cartel in the border state of Coahuila. Hundreds of victims were reportedly tortured, executed and remains were incinerated.

Sergio Alfonso Lozano Rodriguez, who served as a mayor of Allende, Coahuila, back in 2011, was arrested on Thursday, the state attorney general's office said, as cited by Mexican media.

The state attorney said Rodriguez was arrested on kidnapping charges, but did not specify his alleged role in the massacre.

Reuters cited the government report, saying that the murders were ordered by Los Zetas cartel, a Mexican criminal syndicate.

Zetas is considered "the most technologically-advanced, sophisticated, and dangerous cartel operating in Mexico" by US authorities.

The cartel's bosses, Miguel 'Z-40' Trevino Morales and his brother, Omar 'Z-42' Trevino Morales were arrested by Mexican authorities in 2013 and 2015 respectively.

A man who was dissolved in a scorching-hot acidic geyser while visiting Yellowstone National Park during the summer had been trying to find a place to bathe when he accidentally fell into the spring.

In June, Colin Nathaniel Scott lost his footing and fell into a Norris Geyser Basin spring, one of the oldest and hottest in the Wyoming nature reserve with temperatures around 93 degrees celsius (199 Fahrenheit).

Colorado cops assault and arrest diabetic man having low blood sugar episode without first asking questions

cops beat diabetic carl leadholm
Carl Leadholm was in medical distress and needed help when he was targeted by five Commerce City Police officers. However, his innocence and the fact that he needed help was of no consequence to the officers who mistook low blood sugar for a criminal act. This week, Leadholm filed a federal civil lawsuit against the department for the abuse during that stop that left him beaten and in the hospital.

In November 2014, Leadholm's blood sugar began to drop causing him to swerve while driving. This swerving caught the attention of five of Commerce City's finest who pulled Leadholm over. However, instead of simply talking to the man and asking him what was going on, they yanked him from the car and began assaulting the innocent diabetic.

"It would have taken a simple conversation and this never would have happened," said David Fisher, Leadholm's attorney to CBS Denver. "They admit, we just went up there knocked on the window, pulled him out of the car to the ground, boom- start hitting him in the leg."

A woman who was nine months pregnant and held at the Milwaukee County Jail in July said she notified a corrections officer that she was going into labor, but the officer laughed at her. Her newborn died later in the day, she says in a legal filing.

Shadé Swayzer, 30, has filed a notice of claim against the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, run by Sheriff David Clarke, alleging that the jail staff refused to respond to her request for medical attention when she said, at around midnight, that her waters had broken and she was going into labor. She says she gave birth at around 4am, but did not receive attention for another two hours.

The child was "born alive, cried profusely and was breastfed," Swayzer said in the claim. Yet complications led to the child's death later in the day. She is seeking $8.5 million in damages, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Suicide of human trafficking researcher in Haiti raises questions

Soros and Clinton in Haiti doing "philanthropy".
It has been reported on Reddit that Monica Petersen, working for the Human Trafficking Center, was in Haiti investigating possible human trafficking connections to the Clinton Foundation.

Peterson previously worked for the Colorado Human Trafficking Council's Data & Research Task Force. Early in 2016, a friend shared her blog post which was critical of Hillary Clinton's shady dealings in Haiti.
Carlos Slim's net worth is more than $64.8 billion dollars. The richest man on earth is a Mexican telecom mogul, whose career's "most interesting parts" are his links to businessmen "suspected of involvement in Mexico's so-called 'Cartel of the Southeast." He is a Clinton associate and donor to the Clinton Foundation. In 2015, Carlos Slim became the largest shareholder in the New York Times. William Engdahl, an author and lecturer with a degree in politics from Princeton suggests in this revealing article that this may explain why we will not be reading about the "murky dealings" of The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation in Haiti from the New York Times; "formerly America's most respected newspaper of record." According to Haiti activist Ezili Dantò: "The Clintons have used governmental power to conduct their private business and called it 'helping poor Haitians.'"

Hillary Clinton should get far more scrutiny for her scandalous conduct in Haiti; from rigging the March 2011 presidential election for her favored candidate Michel "Sweet Mickey" Martelly (supporter of the CIA created death squad FRAPH) to insuring that her brother Tony Rodham and "a company that barely exists." got a "sweetheart gold mine concession in Haiti" that "royally cheated" the state of Haiti.
Close friends are starting to raise questions, because the family has been unable to get details about her death.

Comment: From steemit:
monica petersen
On August 2015 Monica posted on Facebook asking for info on sex trafficking in Haiti because she was heading there to help/investigate. Also shown in the screenshot above.

Another blog post written by Monica:
http://humantraffickingcenter.org/guest-posts/root-causes-contradictions-displaced-youth-along-u-s-mexico-border/

A good friend of Monica picked up a Reddit thread and posted it on her Facebook. This says quite a lot.
"It seems that Monica was in Haiti investigating the Clintons possible ties to a pedophile ring. Monica family hasn't been able to get any straight answers about her death."
Bella is also linking to the blog post previously found.

Someone messaged Bella. This was the answer:

One of her friends even wants to go down to Haiti to investigate.

Tourists warned by UK charity not to report rape in Dubai after 'gang raped' Brit arrested for 'extramarital sex'

A UK charity is warning British tourists and expats in Dubai not to report rape to police after a woman was arrested and charged with "extramarital sex" after telling authorities she had been gang raped.

Detained in Dubai, an organization that assists people who have become victims of injustice in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), says rape should not be reported in the country because of "racist" preconceptions held against Western tourists and "manipulation when it comes to criminal accusations."

We get people contacting us asking whether they should report a crime and - whether it be a rape or anything else - I often say no. Absolutely not," Radha Stirling, the founder of the charity, told the Independent.

"It's about the laws for one, but it also comes down to the application of the law. Police there do get a lot of rape claims that are false, many of which come from disgruntled prostitutes who retaliate by reporting false criminal claims.

"Because of this, the police are wary of false accusations, so when a report does come in they think, 'Oh, maybe the girl was just drunk and then she regretted it the next day.'

"It's also linked to the fact that tourism in the UAE has increased and there is a big clubbing scene. People go there to have a good time and the country promotes this. But they do assume women are 'looking for it'.

"There is the social perception that if a woman drinks alcohol, she has consented to it. And there's also a racist mentality of thinking, 'She's British so she was probably drunk and asking for it.'"

Civilians who managed to flee from Aleppo tell chilling stories of how terrorists entrenched in the eastern districts of the besieged city torment the city residents.

Despite constant attempts by terrorists to prevent residents from fleeing the terrorist-held neighborhoods, an apparent attempt to use civilians as 'human shields' against the advancing Syrian forces, the desperate people keep trying to reach the safety of government-controlled areas.

Mahmoud Alukasyr, who now lives with his family in a humanitarian center established near the city, is one of those who succeeded, according to RIA Novosti.

"Militants raided my district, killed my brother because he served in the army, so me and my family fled to the al-Jamiliah district. Now we live here in this humanitarian center. I want to thank the Russian government and Russian people who support us; we'll never forget this," he said.

Coroner's autopsy
Director-General of the Syria Coroner's Office Hossein Noufel disclosed that the body organs of thousands of Syrian civilians have been sold in the international black markets over the past six years.

"We have accurate information that over 25,000 surgical operations have been conducted in the refugee camps of the neighboring countries and in the terrorist-controlled areas in Syria since 2011 to take out the body organs of 15,000 Syrians and sell them in the international black markets," Dr. Noufel said.

He pointed to the high prices of human body organs in the black markets, and said, "A kidney is sold $10,000 in Turkey while the same kidney is sold for $1,000 in Iraq, but in Lebanon and Syria the price of each kidney is $3,000."

Dr. Noufel said that other human body organs such as spleen and cornea are also sold in the black markets.

Graphic video: Half-dozen cops pummel man with batons as their K9 tears into his flesh

cops beat man
A graphic video has surfaced on Facebook showing a half dozen police officer beating a man while their K9 tore into him. The El Centro Police Department has since opened an investigation.

The video shows multiple police officers around suspected car thief, 23-year-old Elizardo Saenz. The officers are seen beating Saenz with batons as the man recording pleaded with them to stop.

As the K9 is tearing into the suspect's flesh, officers are yelling 'stop resisting' as they continue the attack. As the Free Thought Project has reported numerous times in the past, police often yell 'stop resisting' to suspects who are being mauled by a K9 — completely ignoring the impossible nature of remaining still as your flesh is ripped apart by an animal's teeth.

According to the ECPD, the incident stems from a call they received at 9:33 a.m. Officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle in the 1200 Block of N. 18th St. The vehicle was described as a black Volkswagen. Officers responded but were not able to find the vehicle, according to KYMA.

Later that afternoon, around 3:30 p.m., officers received a call from a family member who spotted the stolen vehicle. Once officers caught up to the vehicle, they attempted to pull it over. The driver was Elizardo Saenz.

While Saenz clearly made the wrong decision to either drive, or steal the vehicle, the officers' subsequent reaction was entirely unwarranted.
